The South East Regional Initiative (or SERI) is funded by the Office for Disability Issues (ODI) and is working with three local authority sites to embed options and opportunities for independent living for older people. The SERI programme involves: change management support; a qualitative research study to track the experiences of individual older people; and quantitative data collection and analysis to capture impacts at different levels, and to develop an evaluation framework for independent living that can be used by authorities to assess the return on their local investments. This paper shares the emerging messages and important lessons from this 2 year demonstration project established to understand what works in increasing the voice, choice and control of older people with high support needs. This includes older people living in residential and/or nursing care homes; and older people living at home who are at risk of a move into care. This paper has been prepared for local authorities and their partners responsible for ensuring the delivery of local services and support that achieve better outcomes as well as best value in the use of public services and resources.
